SUMMARY
***
KDE Plasma Shell is EXTREMELY sluggish after long time of usage (and suspending laptop)

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE Plasma shell on laptop
2. Suspend laptop after some time of usage

OBSERVED RESULT
After couple of days the KDE Plasma Shell will be extremely sluggish. Even simple task as pressing Application Launcher is lagging, not to mention moving between apps.

Here's short video when this issue occurs: https://youtu.be/CUQmGVfd4f8

I ran `htop` in order to check why is my ram usage so high, and except for couple of docker containers and node processes I noticed that there are plenty of plasmashell processes. Maybe this is causing the issue?: https://imgur.com/a/3ahRTWe

EXPECTED RESULT
KDE Plasma Shell should be working fast after long time of usage

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma: 5.27.6
KDE Frameworks: 5.108.0
Kernel: 6.4.4
Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My laptop is 16 GB RAM, I5-8250U processor

Try setting the environment variable `QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION=xcb_egl`. Does it work better?
